I drive a '00 GT 'Vert. (Auto)
I have noticed recently that I have no oil pressure when I start the car when it's cold. (Engine cold, not air temp)
After about 2 minutes, the oil pressure gauge goes to mid, then drops to zero, then mid, then zero,etc...
This happens until the engine reaches normal temp. As long as the engine stays warm, the oil pressure gauge seems to be working properly.
I have changed the oil, and it still does the same thing.
I would assume that it would be reading SOME oil pressure when you first start the engine.
Bad gauge?
I was thinking the voltage regulator, but it would affect all the gauges on the panel, not just the oil pressure gauge.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
